About Lisa
Lisa Guerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and codependency. She frames therapy as a practical step toward feeling more capable. Lisa speaks plainly, listens closely, and focuses on small changes that make daily life easier.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship patterns and communication. She also draws on Narrative Therapy and trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause pain.
Lisa has seven years of counseling experience and a background as a paramedic. That combination guides a calm, problem-solving style in sessions. She pays attention to how stress shows up in work, parenting, and everyday routines.
In sessions she helps people set clear goals and practice simple skills between meetings. That might mean trying a new way to talk about a problem, testing a different routine, or reframing a thought that feeds anxiety. Progress is tracked in concrete steps rather than vague promises.
Her work includes support for parenting concerns, adoption and foster care questions, first responder related stress, and issues such as attachment, control, and forgiveness. People considering therapy are encouraged to ask questions about fit and next steps before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches and how they can work online
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in her clinical work. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical skills to improve interactions and rebuild trust in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or parenting duties. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people join from locations with quieter surroundings or lower time commitments. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and focused so therapy can fit into everyday life without extra hassle.
